Monolithic Brewing

Walking into Monolithic, I expected to see an actual monolith in some form, but sadly there was none. One of the owners, a very personable man who clearly loves what he's doing, said one of his partners was a fan of the movie Space Odyssey and the name was sort of derived from that. Going by the definition: monolithic are single, unified applications, it kind of fits with the brewery effort to produce an excellent product. We really enjoyed our beer, but the whole experience fell a bit short. The space was very industrial and therefore noisy, which made conversation difficult. I did like the step-up upholstered banquette seating. It was very comfortable, probably more so than the ladder back chairs at the tables. The bar staff were inattentive once our initial beer was served. Maybe they hadn't realized we were also getting food. I had a plain hamburger, which was a mistake on my part because plain truly meant plain. I hadn't realized how much the flavor of a burger relies on the accompaniments. The monolithic shandy I ordered was very refreshing and perfect. Big bro liked his Bob's burger with bacon, sauce, and cheese. He ordered neoteric haze, which he really liked. Both burgers were served with a small bag of chips. We also had a basket of ordinary corn chips accompanied by a tiny cup of bland salsa. The menu indicated that there were vegan options(veg*), but I only saw one--the pretzel--probably plain with no cheese sauce. The focus is naturally on the brews, but the bar food menu needs a bit of finesse. Maybe if the ambiance was cozier, we would have stayed longer and sampled more brews. By all means stop in if you are a beer aficionado.

As I have visited monolithic more over the years, I am glad to say it seems they are in it for the long-haul... Despite the somewhat weird location (which is now out of my way a bit) I still would say it's worth making the trek from Midtown Omaha, or wherever else you might be located. Family friendly in the afternoons, a nice spot for happy hour, casual vibes. Tasty food. Patio with ambient fountains and a lake. Plus REALLY GOOD and inventive beers that are some of my favorites in town and have really grown on me. What's not to love?

Love this place! The drinks all have a story behind them. I'm not a huge beer drinker so I get the Gin & Booch with tequila. My absolute favorite! The staff here is the best. I never have come in here without leaving with a smile!

Very friendly and clean. Plenty of seating. servers get to you very fast (WE LOVE THAT) because I was so hungry! I ordered the Willie Dog and Pink shandy the willie dog is sooo good (it's a hotdog with the snap) I was skeptical at first .I'll definitely be back for more!! 7/10 recommend

The craft beers here are amazing. My favorite is the pink lemonade and the watermelon. I attended the national hot dog day. Monolithic Brewing partnered with Willie's hot dog. These were delicious. The brewery has plenty of space inside, but I enjoy the patio. Nice view of the pond and water fountains. Service here is friendly and quick. Great place to hang out with friends.

Tasty beers on a surprisingly nice patio. Made for an awesome evening. I particularly liked (to my own surprise) the Feisty Walrus.The indoor space is a bit too open for my taste - it's like it hasn't figured out what it wants to be when it fully develops. It's just really big and open and spacious and ... that's it. Once they figure out how to bring it to life, it should be really nice. It's just not there yet.But the beers are well-crafted and the servers are friendly, so it's definitely worth a visit.

We are very excited to have a great Brewery/restaurant two minutes away from our house. There are so many chains in the area; it's awesome to have a new option!The location is spacious. There is a long bar and a mix of high top and low top tables that seat 6 people, but could probably squeeze in a few more if you have a larger party. There is also a great patio that overlooks a water feature, and garage doors that open the inside space up to the outside. I wish dogs were able to join on the patio, but that is currently not the case. Service was great - we were greeted and served with a smile the entire evening.My husband tried the Totally Buggin' IPA. I hate IPAs, but he said it was pretty good. I tried the Prickly Pear Chupacabra, and I could definitely pick up on the notes of prickly pear and watermelon. Next time we go, I want to do a flight.We each had a burger, as well. My husband had the House Smoked Burger, and he kept mentioning how much he loved the pickle-onion-ketchup slaw and the awesome bread it came on. I tried the Beer Cheese Burger, and it was so good. I loved the beer cheese, but the star of the burger was the raspberry-chipotle jam. The burgers come with a side of potato chips. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that as the restaurant gains more traction they will add the option to get French fries (please!!)We look forward to coming back and bringing friends!

Nice enough place in a new building. Back patio by the water was neat. Beers were good. About a thrice compared to similar places. Had about three different waiters/waitresses come check on us.

Would be nice to visit in summer months as it has outdoor patio. Service was okay. Beer was good.

Went to brewery a few weeks ago. Very disappointed. Our group was the only table to not be served within 30 minutes of seating. After placing our drink order, no one returned. We went to the bar to order our food. It was brought to the table, but the server didn't ask if we needed additional drinks. I believe that all customers should be treated with respect regardless of their sexual orientation. The manner that our party was treated is appalling.
